Hello and welcome to the Kansas City Shootout for Soldiers Lacrosse Festival, a celebration of the Medicine Game in honor of those who serve. Shootout for Soldiers is a national movement of lacrosse players, coaches, referees, fans, and families who are united by a single mission: to use the connective force of lacrosse as a magnet of support for our Veterans and First Responders. 

The Kansas City Shootout for Soldiers Lacrosse Festival is an all-day lacrosse extravaganza that includes a collegiate tournament, a sevens showcase (with HS Boys, Girls & Masters divisions), a rugby exhibition, and a Veterans game, all played in tribute to those who serve. We will have a Midway with vendor booths, auction tables, and displays, along with contests, food trucks, and music, all adding to the festive environment. 

At midday, our festival pauses as we gather as one for the Ceremony of Honor, where service and sacrifice are recognized, and the Shootout for Soldiers mission is amplified. Lacrosse has a healing power, and our circle is wide and welcoming. The greatest success for Shootout for Soldiers is when a Veteran or First Responder is brought into the Medicine Game to experience the restorative balm of inclusion and acceptance for themselves, but this path is not always clear, and our mission helps support a network of vetted non-profit organizations devoted to those who serve. 

Shootout for Soldiers raises money through our national schedule of lacrosse events, and registering with Shootout for Soldiers creates a personal fundraising page for each player, team, or volunteer. By joining our mission, you are serving a cause in honor of those who served us.
